A petition launched to rename Calgary International Airport to Stephen J. Harper International Airport is seeking the signatures of 15,000 supporters. The online petition reads “As Prime Minister Harper was the longest serving prime minister from Western Canada, let us honour his accomplishments by re-renaming the Calgary Airport in his honour.” Like everything surrounding our soon to be former Prime Minister, Canadians are divided on the issue and a counter petition attempting to prevent the renaming of the airport was also launched.

Is it too soon for an honour such as this? Should the airport be named after Harper?
